Release notes

This is a beta release for the next feature release of Drupal 8. Betas are good testing targets for developers and site builders who are comfortable reporting (and where possible, fixing) their own bugs. Beta releases are not recommended for non-technical users, nor for production websites. More information on beta releases.

This minor release provides new improvements and functionality without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. There may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules that require updates to contributed and custom modules and themes per Drupal core's backwards compatibility and experimental module policies.

Important update information

8.5.0-beta1 resolves several issues with the upgrade path so site owners who have encountered problems updating to 8.5.0-alpha1 should try updating to this beta release instead. Site owners and module maintainers planning to update to this release should take note of the following important issues:

If you have a contributed or custom module that deals with pending revisions or loading different revisions, be aware that new validation was introduced to limit the allowed changes for untranslatable fields. See the related change record about this revision API change for details.

Important: If you have not already upgraded to 8.4.0, read the Drupal 8.4.0 release notes before upgrading to 8.5.0-beta1. Drupal 8.4 includes major version updates for Symfony, jQuery, and jQuery UI and is no longer compatible with older versions of Drush. Drupal 8.3 and earlier are no longer supported.

A bug in Symfony 3.4 causes parsing to fail on certain YAML files that contain comments. Drupal core is working around this issue, but custom services.yaml files or other custom YAML formats may need to implement their own fixes until the issue is fixed upstream in Symfony (hopefully before Drupal 8.5.0). See the Symfony 3.4 change record for details.

Issue #2941837 by Eli-T, kjay, cehfisher: Move article body out of csv file in to their own text file

Issue #2938185 by tedbow, JayKandari, navneet0693, acbramley, Eli-T, larowlan, webchick, markconroy, andrewmacpherson, David_Rothstein, smaz, ckrina: When installing Umami, only show warning if 'Demo Umami' radio button is selected (and ensure that it is obvious that warning message only applies to the Umami profile)
